@John Walker: it's not attached to an actual chapel/church.  @johnfilmer: yes, its in the cloister area.

Aylesford Priory has a lot of dormers - is it there?

Last time I was there was '96.  Must go back.
Here is an interesting way to hang a bell.  Why there are two ropes I'm not sure, you would only need one and gravity.  Look closely at the wheel though, how to hang a bell on the cheap: a bike wheel and a lump of wood!  Where is it though?

Spot on MartinR. A little gem hidden on the Downs. I really enjoyed my day there.

This is my record of the day...

Looks like the Bredgar & Wormshill Light Railway.

Is this the Norton Ash Miniture Railway at Brogdale, Faversham?

I must confess that until looking for this, I knew nothing of it either.

John Walker, thanks.
The filter to "age" your photo is quite effective.
I wondered about the cape; it did not look like a normal dog coat.

I have a change of tack now.
I had a fun day back in 2016. Where was I? I was completely amazed. I did not know the place existed a few days before, and I am quite a train buff.

You have it Local hiker - Quex House


My sister and Brother in Law - 1940s re-enactors.  The cape on the dog is to carry water bottles if they find someone trapped.


Over to you  :)

Says "Taken at Quex House near Birchington Kent." on the link, 20th May 2013. What is the dog wearing?

Yes, that's my photo Local Hiker - one of my 6000+ images with Alamy under my Bax Walker Images pseudonym.  I was covering a 1940s event.  :)


But where was it taken?

East or West Kent? Still a private country house?

All heading in the right direction.  He would have been a doctor with his rescue dog.  The dog would locate trapped people after an air raid.  The lady is a Nanny.


A country house but not too far out into the countryside.  It still exists.
